Thermoplastic Pipe Market Report 2026

The thermoplastic pipe market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $3.37 billion in 2025 to $3.6 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of oil and gas pipeline networks, increasing use in water and wastewater systems, growth in mining slurry transport, rising adoption of plastic piping solutions, availability of advanced polymer materials.

The thermoplastic pipe market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.59 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing investments in renewable energy infrastructure, rising demand for low-maintenance piping systems, expansion of offshore exploration projects, growing focus on leak-resistant pipelines, increasing use in harsh environment applications. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of corrosion-resistant pipe systems, rising demand for lightweight composite pipes, growing use in offshore energy applications, expansion of high-pressure pipe installations, enhanced focus on long service life.

Increasing demand from the oil and gas industry for corrosion-resistive is expected to propel the growth of the thermoplastic pipe market going forward. Pipeline corrosion is the oxidation and electrochemical disintegration of a pipe's structure. The use of thermoplastics in the production and transportation of oil and gas is emerging as a practical and reliable corrosion-mitigation solution. These pipelines are lighter and more resistant to corrosion than metals, allowing oil and gas corporations to explore and produce from deeper offshore oilfields. For instance, in January 2023, according to the Association for Materials Protection and Performance (AMPP), a US-based non-profit organization, the yearly cost of corrosion to the oil and gas sector in the United States is estimated to be $27 billion, with others estimating the global annual cost of corrosion to the industry to be more than $60 billion. Therefore, increasing demand from the oil and gas industry for corrosion-resistive drives the thermoplastic pipe market.

Major companies operating in the thermoplastic pipe market are focusing on technological innovation such as reinforced thermoplastic pipe (RTP) technology. Reinforced Thermoplastic Pipe (RTP) technology is a type of pipe technology that enables faster installation, reduced time to first production, and lower lifecycle emissions over traditional steel pipelines. For instance, in November 2023, Baker Hughes Company, a US-based energy technology company, launched its new PythonPipe portfolio, which is a reinforced thermoplastic pipe (RTP) technology. The PythonPipe portfolio consists of American Petroleum Institute 15s-qualified, flexible, and non-metallic RTP with various sizes, materials, and liner options. It offers up to a 60% reduction in installation time and is available at one-fifth the cost of comparative steel installation. Additionally, it can achieve up to a 75% reduction in carbon emissions throughout its lifecycle, up to an 80% reduction in maintenance costs, and up to a 60% reduction in the required crew.

In March 2024, HIL Limited, an India-based company that offers comprehensive range of building solutions, acquired Topline industries Pvt Ltd. for a deal of $ 31.93 million. This acquisition represents a major advancement in HIL's dedication to rapidly expanding its Pipes & Fittings business. With a complementary range of products, technologies, and market presence, this move will greatly enhance HIL's production capacity and nearly double its revenue. Topline industries Pvt Ltd. is an India-based manufacturer of thermoplastic pipes.
